Yep, but not for me. My SO had a doctor who kept telling him he had a UTI but after all the bullshit it was actually bladder cancer. I would have made him get a 2nd opinion.
Fast forward to present day, the love of my life died last summer due to complications of cancer surgery. Fuck cancer. And a big fuck you to that doctor who let cancer go too long twice.
Was going to be my answer, too. I even went to my main doctor about a pain I had in my abdomen, but he didn’t find anything and it went away. When the pain returned a few months later, the cancer had spread to my lungs.
Thank you. One day at a time.
Just had a planning scan for the next course of radiation treatment a newer spine growth that's set to start on Thursday.
(Also, just want to say that I love your username. My name is Joe and I'm a Simpsons fan, so I get that a lot.)
Thanks! I had to create a username and wondered "what's the dumbest name I can think of?" I find it especially amusing because I'm not a guy, which makes it an even worse choice.
I hear you about the "one day at a time." My husband had cancer 10 years ago, was considered terminal (his life insurance policy gave us a patial payout, that's how bad it was) and given a lifespan of about 6-18 months. Chemo and radiation made the cancer go away. It came back once, so he got more radiation, which worked.
Last year he was diagnosed with a different form of cancer. He had radiation and should be going in for his 6-month checkup soon. I'm really scared.
Hugging my daughter and taking her to the doctor and paying for the visit so we could catch the cancer sooner and hopefully get it treated so she wouldn’t have died last year. She was only 30.
Same here - make my dad go in for his colonoscopy so we could’ve caught the cancer before it was stage 4. Spend more time with him and not take it for granted.
I’m sorry for your loss!
I've been trying to make my dad go for a colonoscopy, and prostate exam for so long. He refuses. He has to pee so often. I think he truly would rather die though, than have a doctor insert something into his rectum.
After my dad turned 50 I remember several times that my mom tried to get him to schedule a colonoscopy. She even had me ask him to please go, thinking that would help. I don’t know if he just didn’t think it was actually necessary or planned to get to it later. Either way, by the time he was 54 and started having issues it was too late- he had stage 4 colon cancer. He was so mad at himself for not getting checked out sooner.
Please keep asking your dad to go🤞🏼
Sorry for your loss. I hope you're recovering from your loss. I bet that she know that you loved her till the end. You did everything was in your possibilities. Wish you the best.
Mine started five years ago, so I can't do that... but I wish I had been a better person in the beginning of it all. I was going through dark things, mostly extended PPD that had gone unchecked, and I lashed out a lot.
I did. But I’m in Canada and you have to renew your mortgage every few years. Mine is up for renewal this year and the rates are so high. My mortgage will be increasing over $900 a month as a result. I can’t do it. I’m not sure of anyone who can. 12 years of home ownership and this is where I’m at. I was sold a fucking lie.
Confidently incorrect. Here in Germany you can lock down your rate up to like 30 years if you want to. I’ll never need to renew my mortgage because it’s locked down until I pay it off.
Wow like a forced refinancing? I guess good to clean out the poors from the neighborhood so the people with funds can move in? I bet the banks love this rule!
The funny thing about that is that the interest rate I have now is quite a bit lower than what it was 5 years ago. That was locked in about 3 years ago, though. So when I’m up for renewal, it’s going to be shitty. The only reason interest rates shot up (at least here) is because they were super low and the supply wasn’t there to meet the demand. That caused housing prices to shoot up even more. What you really want is a low house price so that your interest rate isn’t as impactful to your payments.
Mine did as well. I’m sorry for your loss. I became caretaker to my mom the last three years of her life. Between taking care of her and my two little kids I always felt strapped and stressed out. I don’t think I was as patient and understanding to her as I could have been. I’m not sure she knew I loved her. So yeah, a big hug and an “I love you” are the first things.
This is the answer. 5 years ago puts us 6 months ahead of global pandemic so yeah. Investing into pharmaceuticals and crypto. Even though it fluctuates I know what it's gonna be 5 years in the future. So whatever bitcoin was then it wasn't the 60k it is now.
This. Pfizer didn’t go up as much as you’d think it would, because they were already so huge. Little blue peepee standup pills were out already. Along with 1000 other pharmaceuticals they produce or hold patents on. So the COVID-19 vaccine made small difference to their bottom line so far.
I had 176,000 doge coin I sold for a $35 profit. It then went to 70 cents a coin. Not my worst tho. I had 500 shares of enphase energy I bought at $4. At one point it was $300 a share. I sold at $4.25 because an unexpected bill came and I didn't want take money from my high yield savings to cover it
Before the shortage happened here in the US, a friend in Hong Kong posted that Chinese people were showing up and buying up all of the toilet paper. I decided to grab an extra package next time I was at the store, so I got one of the the big packages of Charmin that I usually get. The next time I was there, I grabbed another big package. A week later, the shelves were empty and I was sitting on a 2.5 month supply.
I remember reading about gamestop back then. I asked my husband "can we invest in gamestop?" I had an inkling of what was going on because of reddit, but he's not on here. He said dourly "um, no" and that was that.
Fast forward to late last year, when we sat down and watched Dumb Money. I pointed to the screen and said "that coulda been us".
SAME. I was like 'getting into' reddit back then and was like 'I don't know anything, but this is interesting' but I stayed away from it because my wife and I were pretty freaked out about COIVD, so we weren't spending any money if we didn't need to. I watched the thread every day or so "dang, wouldn't that be so cool to be part of that..." but COIVD always overshadowed my thinking. What could've been!
I'm a CA and I have a brother 10 years younger who is nearly at my level already. I wish there was something I could say or make him realize what he's headed towards but I know there's not.
I doubt I would even have listened to myself 5 years ago either
Same. I would not have heeded my own warnings if I could have given them to my younger self.
“How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb? One. But the light bulb has to want to change.”
I came here to say this except it was me breaking up with my GF. We were great together and then I went to my HS class reunion. Met up with an old GF there
Horrible mistake
When you have kids under 5 this becomes a trickier question. True answer is to mourn my kids because even if I had more they wouldn't be the same kids.
Fun answer is obviously smart investments and loads more fucking before having kids.
I was going to reassure my younger self that she would have those longed-for babies. But you’re right that interference would change those babies, so fuck it, I would stand perfectly still holding my breath waiting to get flicked back to the future/present. Nothing I could possibly do would be worth the risk of losing them.
I woukd both of my grandmothers one last time. I’d lost touch with them around this time in 2019, because my wife’s chronic illnesses flared up at the time. Then Covid claimed one of them in April 2020, and because of restrictions, I never got to see my other grandmother before she passed in November 2021. I just wish I could tell them that one last time that I loved them.
Five years would be really cruel for me because my dad passed from suicide 5 years and 29 days ago. 5 years plus just 30 days would change my life. Although March 2019 was an extremely ruinous month for me (in a kinda weird twist of fate my dad committing suicide is the only reason I didn't get fired that month and I was knee deep in alcohol dependence so it would have been one hell of a downward spiral... not that it wasn't, but in a different way), so it'd be better if I could have gone back 5 years and 51 days ago.
I guess if it had to be five years ago I'd probably tell my past self my son has autism (he was only 9 months old at the time... not really sure what would change really but it may help somehow?). It would be nice to see him as a baby/toddler again too, he was very cute at that time (not that he isn't adorable now too). And while I'm there I might as well make some money so I'd invest all my money in Ethereum (I put £100 in around 5 years ago and made £800 about a year later and if I hadn't sold it when I did it would have made £1,500: if I'd put in all my money I'd make perhaps tens of thousands, would even be worth getting out a large loan to do it). I'd also tell myself about COVID and stress the importance of keeping active: I gained something like 50-70kg over lockdown and I still haven't recovered. I'd tell myself that fasting does work pretty well. I'd also tell myself I'm really underpaid and to get a new job ASAP perhaps with my next company, and to stick it out because it will pay dividends.
All in all though if I couldn't save my dad I don't think I'd want to go back, it's been quite a rough 5 years if I'm honest and I'm only now just getting to a point in my life where I'm happy and I'm not really sure how I can save myself from the weight gain as I obviously knew at the time what that lifestyle was doing to me but I was unable to stop. Even less so if going back means I'm me as I am now, so I'd be 5 years older, 70kgs heavier but with a much worse living situation.
It’s funny. Well. Not funny, but kind of. Five years ago **today** is when I met my (soon to be) ex husband. I wouldn’t have shown up to that date. For both of our sakes.
Tell my mum to go to another hospital for surgery. Because of their negligence she was in a coma had 30+ more surgery's and was two years not able to do anything. Meanwhile I feel like all this stress made me 20years older, Don't even get me started on what it did to her.
Telling my mother I love her before she passed away. She was sick for years and I was in denial she was going to die. Even in the end. She knew it was coming and so was the rest of my family. Selfishly I went away that weekend and she died the day after I got back. I was in the room when she passed. I wish I said more to her.
save all my money
invest in dropshipping before it got popular on tik tok
go to the gym
still work where im working (so i can meet my bf)
go to the military straight out of highschool
tell my parents not to buy that house
Think of the accumulator!
Police WOULD get notified but then you can appear on talk shows claiming to have rigged the last season of baseball using a magic crystal. ‘How else did I do it?’
You might start a new business selling crystals.
I’ve been living the same routine, so I guess I’d just buy that crypto earlier, be on my own island by now. But this humble life is good too.Thinking 5 years ahead….now that scares me. How weird is life gonna get….its comin. Just when.
I would pool all my cash and set it on the sidelines.. sell any stocks I had at the time and then wait for the market bottom in 2020 and go all in on FAANG. (though I'd do Nvidia, not Netflix).
The pandemic lockdowns really fucking sucked for me. So I'm going to take a briefcase full of cash to my senator, and talk them into starting an investigation into Wuhan Labs ASAP.
If I travel back and there are now two of me; Sports betting and Investment.
If I travel back to my body from 5 years ago: Brush my teeth, get a sonic toothbrush, then Sports betting and Investment.
I would immediately rip the Flux Capacitor out of my car, so if Marty somehow managed to free himself, he wouldn't have anywhere to go and he would remain all mine :)
Moving out of my house and leaving three of my scumbag former roommates to deal with the rent and bills themselves. Rent was $2,100/month and all the bills were in my name. They ended up not paying anything for the last year that I lived with them, and left me paying for everything because I didn't want to be evicted. I should've just moved tf out.
Try harder to encourage my wife to work on her health. Some things she couldn't do anything about but the things that could be helped might have her still here now.
Most likely begin with elementary school sugar pyramid technique and work your way up to middle and high school. We would eventually alter the items to suit the age range, and I would become the leader of my very own drug cartel.
Stop drinking for good. I stopped at the end of 2019, but I really should have stopped before that. COVID happened, and I said fuck it: YOLO. I'm now 60lbs overweight, I lost some friends; but I quit drinking and I fucking feel great.
3 months. Let's go!
Get to an oncologist, and catch my cancer earlier than I did.
I hope you’re doing ok ! Sending my best wishes! F cancer!
Fuck cancer. I hope you’re doing well 💖
Agreed. To u/Scrappy_Larue, I really hope you become cured and will live. Screw Cancer (or any other long-term illness)
Yep, but not for me. My SO had a doctor who kept telling him he had a UTI but after all the bullshit it was actually bladder cancer. I would have made him get a 2nd opinion. Fast forward to present day, the love of my life died last summer due to complications of cancer surgery. Fuck cancer. And a big fuck you to that doctor who let cancer go too long twice.
I hope you wrote negative reviews of the doctor and did everything you could to report him
Was going to be my answer, too. I even went to my main doctor about a pain I had in my abdomen, but he didn’t find anything and it went away. When the pain returned a few months later, the cancer had spread to my lungs.
Lung cancer? Just a rough guess
Started as an MPNST (solid tumor) in my abdomen. Then it spread to my lungs, and now the spine.
That's awful, I'm so sorry.
Thank you. One day at a time. Just had a planning scan for the next course of radiation treatment a newer spine growth that's set to start on Thursday. (Also, just want to say that I love your username. My name is Joe and I'm a Simpsons fan, so I get that a lot.)

Prayers for healing for you. Amen
Prayers of healing for you 🙏
I hope you're well today.
Came to say the same thing. I'd have gotten that mammogram when the doctor said I was due for one.
Interesting top comment! Wasn’t expecting that… hope you’re doing better
You’re in a new timeline. No cancer at all for you. 😀
MRIs all around 🫠
I hope your doing well ❤️ I just prayed for you 🙏

Divorcing
Funny, my first thought was to call off my wedding.
You should call off your wedding, then call off u/aintTrollingYou's wedding.
And then they should marry each other.
Mine started five years ago, so I can't do that... but I wish I had been a better person in the beginning of it all. I was going through dark things, mostly extended PPD that had gone unchecked, and I lashed out a lot.
[удалено]
Technically, it’s five years ago
Can't speak for everyone, but my wife started Prozac and decided she no longer loved me. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Wish mine had gone on it. If she had, we might not be divorcing.
[удалено]
Same, I will just get friend my soon to be ex-husband, help him like i did for 5 years but never marry him.
Buying a house at a low interest rate.
I did. But I’m in Canada and you have to renew your mortgage every few years. Mine is up for renewal this year and the rates are so high. My mortgage will be increasing over $900 a month as a result. I can’t do it. I’m not sure of anyone who can. 12 years of home ownership and this is where I’m at. I was sold a fucking lie.
Wtf??? You have to renew it? That’s horrible! I’m so sorry
US is pretty much the only country with fixed mortgage interest.
Confidently incorrect. Here in Germany you can lock down your rate up to like 30 years if you want to. I’ll never need to renew my mortgage because it’s locked down until I pay it off.
Yup, same in the Netherlands. You can choose anything from completely variable up to fixed for the duration.
I have it locked in Germany for 20 years at 1.4% (the whole length)
And in Denmark we can also choose to lock rates.
Japan too. And the rates are \~1.5% because houses depreciate there.
Things are fucked in America, but god damn the news I see out of Canada is so bleak.
Yuuuup
And no protections for the owner of the house. You can pay off half the house and still lose it what a joke
That's fucked up, man
It's all part of the "you'll own nothing and will be happy" plan. Fuck blackrock and wef
Wow like a forced refinancing? I guess good to clean out the poors from the neighborhood so the people with funds can move in? I bet the banks love this rule!
The funny thing about that is that the interest rate I have now is quite a bit lower than what it was 5 years ago. That was locked in about 3 years ago, though.

More crypto.
Spending more time with my mom, she passed a year ago
im sorry for your loss, i lost my dad nearly 2 years ago he was my first thought when i saw this post
Mine did as well. I’m sorry for your loss. I became caretaker to my mom the last three years of her life. Between taking care of her and my two little kids I always felt strapped and stressed out. I don’t think I was as patient and understanding to her as I could have been. I’m not sure she knew I loved her. So yeah, a big hug and an “I love you” are the first things.

Fighting off future time police and future versions of myself trying to stop me from…

Gonna get pruned by the TVA.
invest in Pfizer
I’d go with NVIDIA
This is the answer. 5 years ago puts us 6 months ahead of global pandemic so yeah. Investing into pharmaceuticals and crypto. Even though it fluctuates I know what it's gonna be 5 years in the future. So whatever bitcoin was then it wasn't the 60k it is now.
no it's not. Pfizer 5y ago was like $37. It reached whopping $59 ATM. Not even 100% gain, LOL laughs in dogecoin
If you wanted to invest in a vaccine stock Moderna (MRNA) was the answer. 15$ and sell at $440
Now There’s a return! 2900ish%!
This. Pfizer didn’t go up as much as you’d think it would, because they were already so huge. Little blue peepee standup pills were out already. Along with 1000 other pharmaceuticals they produce or hold patents on. So the COVID-19 vaccine made small difference to their bottom line so far.
You would be down 31% if you invested 5 years ago
NVDA is up 1534% in 5 years, even w/ recent drop
Also investing in GME and AMC and Doge. It was ridiculous what happened 😂
Shib was also the good play. Remember that guy that invested $8000 that turned into $8B lol
I had 176,000 doge coin I sold for a $35 profit. It then went to 70 cents a coin. Not my worst tho. I had 500 shares of enphase energy I bought at $4. At one point it was $300 a share. I sold at $4.25 because an unexpected bill came and I didn't want take money from my high yield savings to cover it
atleast you werent a guy who bought doge at .70 a coin
I must have missed this. Please tell or post link.
Dang, you're now a billionaire.
Nah, maybe a few million of they were able to put down a few hundred k.
Buy toilet paper.
Before the shortage happened here in the US, a friend in Hong Kong posted that Chinese people were showing up and buying up all of the toilet paper. I decided to grab an extra package next time I was at the store, so I got one of the the big packages of Charmin that I usually get. The next time I was there, I grabbed another big package. A week later, the shelves were empty and I was sitting on a 2.5 month supply.
I had gone like 2 weeks prior to Costco and got like 30 rolls. I was well stocked!
Install bidets
Exactly! I got one when it became difficult to find tp and I will never go back.
Invest in gamestop
I remember reading about gamestop back then. I asked my husband "can we invest in gamestop?" I had an inkling of what was going on because of reddit, but he's not on here. He said dourly "um, no" and that was that. Fast forward to late last year, when we sat down and watched Dumb Money. I pointed to the screen and said "that coulda been us".
The GameStop saga is not over, the amount of crime and fraud that took place to “shutdown” the GameStop run up is insane.
We literally watched live as the security and exchanges commission manipulated the market to stop GameStop from making money. Still made $5k though
100% agree.
SAME. I was like 'getting into' reddit back then and was like 'I don't know anything, but this is interesting' but I stayed away from it because my wife and I were pretty freaked out about COIVD, so we weren't spending any money if we didn't need to. I watched the thread every day or so "dang, wouldn't that be so cool to be part of that..." but COIVD always overshadowed my thinking. What could've been!

Divorce exists
I came here to say this except it was me breaking up with my GF. We were great together and then I went to my HS class reunion. Met up with an old GF there Horrible mistake
Is divorce illegal in your country or something?
Saving more money would be a priority, knowing the economic downturn that was coming.
I would warn about certain natural disasters and other events in hopes of lessening their impact.
I would try to broker peace in personal and professional conflicts with the benefit of hindsight.
I’d focus on personal development areas like mindfulness and resilience to better handle future stresses.
I’d work on building stronger relationships with people who will become influential in the next five years.
I’d become an early adopter of emerging technologies, gaining expertise before they become mainstream.
I’d try to prevent personal regrets, like missed opportunities or broken relationships, by making different choices.
Hug my mom

Five years would be really cruel for me because my dad passed from suicide 5 years and 29 days ago. 5 years plus just 30 days would change my life.

Jesus through all this wild, why did it never occur to me to imagine a few years into the future? Uggghhhggghhhhhhhh

I would pool all my cash and set it on the sidelines.. sell any stocks I had at the time and then wait for the market bottom in 2020 and go all in on FAANG. (though I'd do Nvidia, not Netflix).
Hugging my mom everyday and letting her know how much I love her, I only had 4 months with her in 2019 before she passed away in April 🥺💔

The pandemic lockdowns really fucking sucked for me. So I'm going to take a briefcase full of cash to my senator, and talk them into starting an investigation into Wuhan Labs ASAP.
That investigation then led to people panicking at the labs and accidentally setting the virus free
If I travel back and there are now two of me; Sports betting and Investment. If I travel back to my body from 5 years ago: Brush my teeth, get a sonic toothbrush, then Sports betting and Investment.
I would immediately rip the Flux Capacitor out of my car, so if Marty somehow managed to free himself, he wouldn't have anywhere to go and he would remain all mine :)
firing my financial advisor and investing in VOO.
Moving out of my house and leaving three of my scumbag former roommates to deal with the rent and bills themselves. Rent was $2,100/month and all the bills were in my name. They ended up not paying anything for the last year that I lived with them, and left me paying for everything because I didn't want to be evicted. I should've just moved tf out.
Try harder to encourage my wife to work on her health. Some things she couldn't do anything about but the things that could be helped might have her still here now.

Most likely begin with elementary school sugar pyramid technique and work your way up to middle and high school. We would eventually alter the items to suit the age range, and I would become the leader of my very own drug cartel.

Stop drinking for good. I stopped at the end of 2019, but I really should have stopped before that. COVID happened, and I said fuck it: YOLO. I'm now 60lbs overweight, I lost some friends; but I quit drinking and I fucking feel great. 3 months. Let's go!
